An Appetite for Murder

The Burbank Library is promoting a summer reading club for grownups and the theme this year is "Eat...READ...Live." As part of the promotion, I put together a list of culinary mystery series, many of which include tasty recipes. I share that list here. Read, eat, and enjoy!

Pickard, Nancy -- Series Character: Eugenia Potter, widowed chef in Maine and Arizona (based on character created byVirginia Rich). Includes recipes.

Roudybush, Alexandra -- Gastronomic Murder. Includes recipes.

Stanley, J.B. -- Series Character: James Henry, retired English Lit professor, belongs to the Flab Five Supper Club with four of his friends. They tackle their weight issues, as well as crime. Includes recipes.

Pie In the Sky, series 1-5 on DVD -- Richard Griffiths (Harry Potter films) stars in this quirky British TV series as DI Henry Crabbe. His fondest wish is to retire from the police force and cook full time in his own restaurant. Unfortunately, crime solving keeps gettting in the way!
